ummm it looks like a stripped down shrunken 3 series. Take a cue for Mercedes a and make the entry model exciting, affordable does not have to mean boring

If BMW waits until 2017 to launch the front-wheel drive 1-series sedan, it will be making a huge mistake. The entry-level segment could very well be dominated by the 2015 Audi A3 sedan by then. Not to mention the Mercedes-Benz CLA is just about to go on sale in the United States.
